The heron stands a long time. The channels part a little way off and hurry to meet again. Feet that have no need to decide yet turn toward the curving path along the bank.

That bleak wind one usually pictures by a river isn't here, yet a single leaf is crossing over the water. While watching it drift away, you picked up a small stone at your feet and tossed it in.
